I think there's a lack of interesting aircraft and major air combat events for that time period.

Sir I object!

The reason I brought it up is because when I hear 'British jets' the aircraft that occur to me are from that era: the Venom, Lightning, TSR.2, etc. There're plenty of fascinating aircraft of that era from other nations too, perhaps closest to my heart being the A-4 Skyhawk.

From a gameplay perspective I'm surprised the period isn't more popular because it would seem to strike a balance between the rat-a-tat dogfights of yesteryear and modern electric jets. Plus you've got period-specific combat circumstances such as dedicated supersonic interceptors arrayed against lumbering Soviet bombers. And yeah, Korea and Vietnam as conflicts featuring both A2A and A2G combat.
